After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the male protagonist is not allowed to ge

After asking his own people to escort Cui Teng back from the airport, Mu Xiao spent the next ten hours conducting detailed and in-depth interrogations on this big case of missing dangerous plants.

Cui Teng, an old fritter, didn't quite agree with him at the beginning. After he was sure that he really got into trouble this time, and he might have to spend the rest of his life honestly in prison, he could only look reluctantly. He began to take the initiative to explain to Mu Xiao the whole process of his special transaction this time.

"Director Mu, you have to trust me. I'm really not telling lies this time. You know that I'm just running errands. This deal was received from the black market before the Chinese New Year. I don't know exactly where it came from. No way, but because the price was very high, I took it. Sometimes in our business, we have to take some risks. I always smuggle some frozen persimmons, frozen pears, big white radishes from the northeast to pretend to be wild ginseng and the like, and I can’t make much money. Money, right?"

"Then why do you know that Bai Beifeng." Mu Xiao leaned on the chair and looked at him coldly.

"Didn't I say it all? In fact, if you didn't tell his name just now, I wouldn't know that I actually met a man named Bai Beifeng. I just completed the handover of items in City Y and was dispatched all the way to deliver them." Yang Chuan, but I swear, I really don’t know what’s in that box. If I had known in advance, I would never have exchanged that box with that kid at the airport, so now I can’t find the box, and that kid can’t find it anymore. I can't find it... But I still advise you to find that kid as soon as possible, otherwise he will be caught by those hiding in the dark, and he can only die..."

Cui Teng, who got into trouble himself, said this and made a particularly sympathetic and regretful expression. Seeing this, Mu Xiao, who was decisive and gloomy, saw that he was still in the mood to talk nonsense to himself at this time, so he waved his hands impatiently and wrinkled With a frown, he signaled his subordinates to take Cui Teng down first and lock him up.

After he stayed alone, he recalled that the boy who accidentally took the box that Cui Teng said just now had not been found so far. As the most critical 48 hours before the seed loss was about to pass completely, The uneasy feeling in Mu Xiao's heart became more and more intense.

Once those dangerous plants contained in the box are really exposed to the public or even used by people with intentions, the result is definitely not as simple as killing a few people at random. The public apologized, and his own side must also bear the blame.

It's just that if the time was turned back to twenty hours ago, Mu Xiao might still think that he could successfully retrieve the box through the ground planting office.

But judging from the current troublesome situation where things and people have mysteriously disappeared at the airport and even the travel records cannot be found, in addition to cooperating with the headquarters and various branches across the country to start a large-scale search together to minimize casualties, it seems that there is nothing wrong Works out.

After all, even Mu Xiao himself knows very well that the wild plants that have survived from ancient times to the present are already very strong in survival, and it is almost impossible for them to exist in this world who are so powerful that they not only know the habits and habits of these 120 or eight kinds of dangerous plants. Weaknesses, and the ability to help them catch all these plants that are so dangerous that they can almost be called beasts one by one.

Unless... those two people are still alive.

This idea came suddenly, but Mu Xiao, who was sitting alone in his office at the moment, still had a moment of trance, but when he quickly came back to his senses, he subconsciously glanced at his desk again, and saw After arriving at the photo frame that he kept on the corner of the table, Mu Xiao's expression suddenly became a little bitter and disappointed.

This was taken about 11 years ago when he and his earliest friends went on a mission for the first time as a souvenir. After that, for many years, everyone went their separate ways, got married and started businesses, and these people who are still alive today rarely contact each other.

But even so, Mu Xiao's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw the serious young man standing in the middle with rabbit ears on his head.

For a long time, I recalled that the last time I heard news about Wen Ying's existence in this world was when Mu Xiao, who started the rescue work at the foot of Mount Gang Rinpoche ten years ago, murmured to himself with a wry smile.

"Wen Ying... how are you doing?"

Obviously, no one can answer this question for Mu Xiao. In fact, in the past ten years, countless academics and explorers have wanted to go and personally confirm whether the immortal phoenix tree is still alive in a certain place in Mount Kailash. place, but in the end they all returned in vain.

Jiang Shanglu, who contributed wonderful hypotheses about the third and fourth quadrants to the future world, and who is said to have completed all the translation of the fifth edition of Amsa folk songs by himself, also disappeared in the depths of the unknown mountain. .

Although the Dizhi Office has also begun to rectify its name in public in recent years, recognizing that Jiang Shanglu is the youngest and most accomplished ancient text translator and biologist in the contemporary era, what he and Wen Ying have experienced Little-known major events have gradually begun to be understood by the world.

But even so, it seems that there is no way to make up for those two people who no longer want to appear in front of the secular world, and don't need the understanding and approval of others at all.

Thinking like this, Mu Xiao sighed and withdrew his gaze from staring at the photo on the table, but when he was about to check the surveillance videos of the airport carefully to find the child who couldn't find anyone However, Mu Xiao suddenly received a call from a seemingly unfamiliar number.

"Hello...who is it?"

His tone was unconsciously a bit cold. With the special situation in City Y right now, Mu Xiao, as the person in charge, was unavoidably nervous, but the next second he heard the voice from the other end of the phone, Mu Xiao's The expression was stunned at first, and after a while, he asked a question with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Muzhou? Is that you? Where did you call me from?"

The voice sounded full of doubts. When Mu Xiao asked him like this, he seemed a little surprised that he should be at home during the winter vacation. Why did Mu Zhou, who usually doesn't like to go out, call himself with a completely unfamiliar phone number.

When he heard his elder brother's question, he unconsciously paused for a moment. He was standing in a phone booth on the side of the road where the night had already darkened. Mu Zhou, who looked so handsome and gentle that he had the words "good student" written on it, was also silent. After a while, he replied calmly,

"I'm outside, I want to ask you for a favor, so I'll give you a call."

"...Well, tell me, what's the matter? But I'm working overtime now, if you're really in a hurry, you can find Liu Zhan."

He was very relieved of his younger brother who had been very sensible and excellent since he was a child. Mu Xiao answered him patiently while bowing his head and continuing to be busy with the work at hand.

But in the next second, Mu Xiao, who almost threw the phone out of his hand because of Mu Zhou's words, heard his baby brother say to him in a very normal tone,

"No hurry, just to tell you, I won't go back tonight, I'm living outside, please help me and tell my parents, I'm afraid they are in a hurry."

This sentence living outside is simply too imaginative. At least Mu Xiao instantly thought of the special situation in Muzhou and his expression became a little complicated. Realizing that his elder brother might have misunderstood something, he frowned unconsciously. Mu Zhou just added another sentence.

"Men, you have also seen Lu Beinan, who is in the next class to me, and something has happened to him at home."

"Ah? Oh, oh, that's it, okay, I understand, then you...you should be careful, you are an adult, and your special problem...you should pay attention to yourself."

"kindness."

This is the end of the brief conversation between the two brothers. Wearing a long down jacket for winter, a warm gray sweater and a plaid scarf, the young man who looks easy to be liked hangs up the phone in his hand and walks out of the phone booth.

After he and the mobster who was sitting on the side of the road dragging a black suitcase, who almost didn't look like a person from the same world as him, but looked like a monster, Muzhou's expression didn't change significantly. He just walked to his side and looked down at him, then asked a question lightly.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Mu Zhou's question caused Lu Beinan, who was looking down at him with his head down, to look at him in a daze. After a while, the young man whose eye circles suddenly turned red lowered his eyes and pursed his lips and shook his head.

And it seems that this idiot with a bad brain can't eat anything in his current mood. Today, he searched a lot of places by himself, and finally caught Muzhou from the airport who was about to fly away with a suitcase. He just looked away and frowned. After thinking for a while, he took out his hand that had been in his pocket all the time, and slowly handed it to Lu Beinan.

"Stand up if you're not hungry. If you don't want to go home, you have to find a place to live. I won't go back tonight."

His words caused Lu Beinan to remain strangely silent again, but Muzhou and him have known each other for almost ten years, if it wasn't for the unexpected incident that happened before the Chinese New Year, they shouldn't be so embarrassed and silent like they are now.

Thinking of this, Muzhou's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He really doesn't want to go into the details of the previous incident. After all, even if anything happens in his eyes, Lu Beinan is still his most important thing. Friends, he also believes that in Lu Beinan's heart, he is equally important.

And this time Mu Zhou really didn't have to wait long, because soon he couldn't bear to see his frozen Lu Beinan, so he quickly took his hand and stood up with difficulty.

After barely standing still, he glanced at Muzhou, who was suddenly taller than himself after a year. Lu Beinan, who was in a bad mood, was obviously stunned for a long time. After comparing the sizes of the two of them, he glared at Mu Zhou with a depressed face and said in a disbelieving manner,

"What's the matter... Why did you suddenly grow taller after a new year like taking hormones? Is it buddy, you hit me like this, I have been very unlucky recently..."

Lu Beinan's words sounded a bit vaguely nasal, and his tone was obviously much softer than when he was facing other people, but aside from the strange colored hair on his head, there was a small tiger tooth on his lips when he spoke The big boy who is looming on the side is quite likable.

And when he heard him say that, he glanced at him noncommittally. As a Polygonum spp., Muzhou, which had already entered the flowering period for some special reasons before winter today, first took off the scarf around his neck and gave it to the thinly dressed He surrounded him and replied calmly,

"It's you who grow up too slowly."

It was as if he was short on purpose on purpose, and Lu Beinan, who was actually quite prominent among his peers, curled his lips at him when he heard him say that and didn't get angry with him, and directly gave Muzhou the The scarf was stuffed into his neck that was almost broken from the cold, and the two young men found a roadside food stall and ordered two fried noodles while talking.

At this time, there are not many people eating outside. While they were sitting on the small table in the corner waiting for the fried noodles to come, a group of wild cats who had been rummaging through the garbage dump next to the fast food restaurant spontaneously started to go to Muzhou. Come around your feet.

Lu Beinan, who has long been familiar with this, watched Muzhou bend down patiently and began to feed the cats with cat food from his pocket. Seeing the group of wild cats, they immediately meowed as if they had met their relatives and the party. They couldn't stop, they wanted to climb onto their table, and Lu Beinan, who helped Muzhou feed the cats in front of him one by one, sighed feebly.

"Hey, I'm just wondering. Why do these cats like you so much? Do you have any particularly good smell? Why haven't I smelled it?"

Saying this, Lu Beinan sniffed Muzhou's scarf with his nose curiously. Muzhou, who was inexplicably taken aback by his actions, turned his eyes away unnaturally after a while. Look at him, Lu Beinan was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and didn't know what to say for a while. After the hot fried noodles came and both of them started to eat with their heads down, Lu Beinan, with a bit of a confused expression, suddenly asked him directly. One sentence.

"Mu Zhou, are you still thinking about what happened the day Gu Wen invited the classmates to dinner on Gu Wen's birthday before our holiday?"

Hearing these familiar words, Muzhou's eyes flickered for a moment, and when he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Beinan in front of him with a slightly complicated look, Lu Beinan just looked at him like a little rascal. Twitching the corners of his mouth, he said helplessly,

"I said, can you stop doing this? How long has it been... I don't remember why you always take it to heart. I can see that you were not very comfortable at the time, although you are always unwilling to be with me. Talk about what happened to you that day, but you and I are buddies, it’s enough for me to know that you didn’t do that on purpose, and after thinking about it, I don’t have any specific losses, why don’t I just let you do that in the toilet After a few mouthfuls, I tore another—”

Before Lu Beinan could finish his blustery words, he was stopped by Mu Zhou's unhappy eyes, but he realized that he had finally started to get angry with him again, and Lu Beinan felt a little more relaxed. .

In fact, since he was a child, he has only had a good friend like Muzhou who has a good relationship. The two of them walked to school together carrying schoolbags every day when they were in elementary school, and they were in the same school and class in junior high school, so they naturally became closer and closer.

Later, they were assigned to the same high school due to school selection issues. Although they couldn't be in the same class because of grades, the two classrooms next door must be very easy and frequent.

Moreover, he is such a little gangster who doesn't love his father or mother, and he has lived to such an age that only Mu Zhou never dislikes him, never gives up on him, and even finds him as soon as possible at any time and comforts him patiently. Thinking like this, Lu Beinan only raised his hand and rubbed his inexplicably sore nose, and looked at him with a rare seriousness and smiled, saying,

"Muzhouzhou, we should still be good friends for life, right?"

I don't know why he fell silent suddenly. Maybe it was because of the eyes that looked at him so earnestly. nodded aggressively.

Seeing that he was finally willing to express his opinion to himself, Lu Beinan, who was still a little nervous, was instantly relieved, but before he had said a few more words to Muzhou, Muzhou on the other side seemed to suddenly remember something. After frowning and looking at the time, he seemingly casually took out a small medicine bottle without any label from his pocket.

Lu Beinan, who was obviously taken aback when he saw this, was about to ask him what it was, when he saw that Muzhou, who was obviously used to it, poured four or five small white tablets into his hands with the mineral water he bought on the way. Take the pills together.

"What is this thing? You eat so many slices at once?"

"I don't feel very comfortable with the drugs for hormone regulation in the body recently."

Mu Zhou, who lowered his head and didn't look at him, took the medicine before replying to him with such a calm face.

"Eh? So there is such a thing? But what are you doing to regulate hormones in your body?"

Lu Beinan's question seemed to be asked by a fool. Muzhou didn't have much reaction when he heard him say that, so he just looked at him quietly and then seemed very patient to take the initiative to explain to him,

"Do you still remember that I was sick once in the second year of junior high school and took a long time off?"

"En? Remember, what's the matter? But didn't you say that it was already ready?"

"In fact, there are some sequelae, which have not been cured, and may have relapsed recently."

"What... what! Why didn't you tell me? Is it serious? What's the situation now... and what happened back then? Why didn't you tell me ah……"

The way Lu Beinan looked at him with a pale face made Mu Zhou's eyes soften unconsciously when he was not in a good mood, and he shook his head to indicate that there was nothing serious about him. Muzhou, who had never told this secret to his parents or even his eldest brother, said to Muzhou thoughtfully,

"When I was very young, there was an elder who took great care of me. He was a maverick and had a special charm, but he disappeared in front of everyone because of some things in the middle. My elder brother and the others Everyone seemed to think that he was dead, but five years ago when I was the most ill and almost died, he appeared in front of me again one day."

"His appearance doesn't seem to have changed much compared to many years ago, but he seems to have just returned from another place, so he looks dusty. I almost thought I was hallucinating, but he and He smiled at me as consolingly as he did when he was a child, and gave me a way to survive before other people found out that I had met him privately, and then left again."

"It was judged that I should have died directly because of the help of this elder, but he didn't want others to know that he was still alive, so he would come to see me every once in a while, or give me a gift. He never appeared in front of others except I sent a few things, but it has been three years since he last appeared. At that time, he told me that he was going to live in the fishing village of Zengcuo’an, Ludao with his lover for a while. But I'm not sure if his plans will change."

"It sounds... so amazing, it's like the kind of expert who suddenly came to the rivers and lakes to accept apprentices, and you are his only closed disciple..."

After listening to what Muzhou said to himself, Lu Beinan's expression was a bit indescribable when we were looking for a hotel to spend the night together. Muzhou, who was walking by the side, dragged the suitcase for him and saw that he was so curious that he kept asking I didn't feel anything about my own appearance.

Instead, he looked very interested, and patiently told some stories about his 'master' whose whereabouts were uncertain.

And up to this moment, Lu Beinan, who had finally completely forgotten all the bad things in his family, who had borrowed the light of Muzhou tonight to have a place to live, lay down lazily on the bed in the small standard room, took off his Muzhou in the coat just wanted to help him find all the clothes out of the box, and then urged him to take a shower quickly, but when he heard Muzhou asking him what the password was, Lu Beinan only opened his eyes in a daze, and once again With a puzzled face, he said,

"What password? I didn't set a password?"

These words made the two of them raise their heads and look at each other at the same time. Muzhou's eyes were a little strange. Lu Beinan, who realized something was wrong after a while, also got up from the bed and went to Muzhou's side to check himself. of this box.

After checking back and forth several times, there was indeed a strange-looking combination lock on the side of the box, and there were more than one. After going around for a day, it was only at this moment that it became clear that something might be wrong. Looking at Muzhou in front of him, he had to admit again,

"It's over... It seems that I really took the wrong box at the airport... What should I do now..."
